Festival Updates

Core Production - Yang Yi and Hang Tian

Wild Children, the Chinese group which was to present Beijing Folk Rock together with Yang Yi, has withdrawn from the Festival as one of the lead singers had to undergo an urgent surgery and would not be able to recover in time. Chinese singer, Hang Tian (杭天), will replace the group and perform with Yang Yi instead. Born in a rural village in Shandong, Hang Tian moved to Tangshan, Hebei when he was nine years old and discovered his love for blues and rock music while he was in a business school in Beijing. He began performing in local Beijing bars with two foreign students in 1997, under the band, Hoo Tone Blues Band. His first album, My Heart of Blues, was produced in 1999 and his second album, Cold Water On My Head, was released in 2002.
